[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 5766799, member: 20323"] Wow, [MENTION=98008]Unwise[/MENTION] that's awesome advice! What's the story behind your TPK? Was it a homemade encounter? If you decide on wraiths I would rework their stat blocks to get rid of insubstantial and possibly weakened. And I would have the wraiths be GREATLY effected by winds...but be able to ride them to their advantage. Replace insubstanial with no damage on a miss & a minimum damage threshold (1/4 or 1/5 HP). When an attack deals less than this threshold, the wraith vanishes into the whirling snow and is removed from play until the start of it's next turn when it reappears within its speed from it's original position. A side effect of this is that it deters opportunity attacks. Replace weakened with an ability to make the PC go out of phase with the world as the wraith tries to suck them into the fierce snowy winds. While out of phase the PC can't benefit from allies powers and is subject to being removed from play with the wraith as above, and to moving with the wraith as below. When a wraith is pushed by winds, it slide-flies up to it's speed in that direction. The danger here is that it can drag an out of phase PCs off the cliffs, or onto a ledge to separate the party. EDIT: If youve seen the last Harry Potter movie think the scene where Harry grabs Voldemort and jumps off the tower and the two are fighting amidst a blur of flying black smoke. [/QUOTE]
